Re: [Gretl-devel] schedule for 1.7.5

Unless anyone has any show-stopping problems to report, I plan to
release gretl 1.7.5 tomorrow, after doing an OS X build tonight.
Allin.
I think it looks great. Some comments:
1. The normtest command should be accessible also from the GUI. E.g.
Variable > Normality test
2. The quantile regression function: When the confidence intervals cannot
be computed (I get a "Not a number in calculation" warning, and I instead
let gretl compute the standard errors for a tau sequence, the graph with
confidence intervals for the tau sequence is still available, giving weird
CIs.
Further, for the quantile regression function the Gretl User’s Guide says
that for large data sets, "If you want confidence intervals in such cases,
you are advised not to use the --intervals option, but to compute them
using the method of “plus or minus so many standard errors”." It would be
great if there was an option to automatically compute and print the CI
calculated with this option. E.g. a new radio button in the GUI: "Compute
confidence intervals using normality approximation".
Best regards and thanks for a GREAT software,
Andreas
